Comments
It’s a nice hotel with just the right amount of room to do light lifting and cardio to maintain your fitness while away. You have enough room to stretch out and get a good solid workout.
 
Very few people used the gym during the 3+ weeks I was there.
 
It’s great that the cable machine comes with an option to do pull-ups! It gives you extra versatility to get a solid workout session. It’s one of the reasons I pick this hotel over others in the area.
 
It has a water purifier so you can refill and get your own water and a sanitation station to clean equipment for those who are health conscious – especially during COVID-19 times.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Yes, it’s my favorite in the area!

There’s even a barbell bench press option – but with only two plates of 10 kg each, the use is extremely limited.

Does the hotel gym offer complementary towels? Yes.
Does the hotel gym offer complementary water? Yes.
 
Comments
It’s a small hotel gym with a limited range of equipment.
 
It’s clean and although it’s not possible to open any windows, there’s proper air conditioning.
 
There’s Wi-Fi and music playing on a TV.
 
Due to the COVID-19 situation, there’s a maximum capacity of three people. However, since it’s not really enforced and because of the limited space, it was difficult to do a proper workout while maintaining social distancing.
 
It would’ve been nice if there’d been a squat rack and some exercise mats. Ideally, they should also have heavier dumbbells.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Not sure…
